The fine print: No refunds or transfers are allowed. The New Year’s Day HAIR of the DOG will go on rain or shine, with the exception of extreme/hazardous weather conditions. We may modify the race course, however, if necessary for participant safety.

The Start/Finish staging area is the Laszlo Veres Amphitheater in the lovely Udall Park.

8k participants traverse the Park before connecting with the brand new landscaped path along Sabino Canyon Road. Here you’ll find lots of wide-open space, views of the Santa Ritas to the south and awe-inspiring views of the Santa Catalinas to the north.

At 0.8 miles the 8k course turns west onto the Loop Path along the Pantano River Wash.

At 1.7 miles the route turns north into the lovely Tucson Country Club Estates. After a loop around the Country Club Estates, the route returns to the staging area at Udall Park.

The 1-Mile /Doggie Dash course features beautiful desert-scape and lovely views of the Catalina Mountains, as participants cruise a loop around Udall Park.
